What the Hell!! The Trumpies are trying to order other nations to eliminate DEI programs.

USA Urges Stockholm to Cease Diversity Initiatives

The USA's ambassador demands that the Stockholm City Planning Office does not work for, among other things, diversity and equality

The demand was made in a letter, where a contract that the City Planning Office was expected to sign was also sent. According to the embassy, a new policy requires the contract to be signed by all who purchase services and goods from the USA.

The contract is expected to be sent back within ten working days – something that will not happen, according to City Planning Councillor Jan Valeskog (S).

"It's contrary to everything we stand for. They should withdraw these peculiarities, he says to DN and describes the whole thing as "completely absurd".
"If the USA terminates its acquaintance with the City Planning Office, the embassy will have a hard time getting building permits if they, for example, want to rebuild. It's their headache, not ours."

It has previously been reported that the USA has demanded that Swedish companies delivering services and goods should not work for inclusion and equality.

Apparently, this 'order' to the Swedish government is not the only one, though it doesn't seem to have created much reaction earlier

US embassies to contractors worldwide: Cancel any diversity programs or risk going unpaid​

WOW! Looks like Trump is trying to expand his practice of not paying for work that has been carried out

US embassies have sent letters to contractors in their host countries demanding they certify that they do not run any diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) programs that violate President Donald Trump’s executive order against race- and sex-based preferences.

All contractors of the US Department of State must also agree that such confirmation is “material for purposes of the (US) government’s payment decision,” according to a certification form sent out by the US embassy in Denmark and seen by CNN.

In his first term, Traitor Trump was reviled by all decent Americans.

In his second and final term, he’s apparently going for worldwide condemnation (excluding the communist/fascist dictators he admires so much. To them, he’s joke and a useful idiot).
 
If dei produced any benefits companies would have adopted it decades ago.

Costco has a long history with it, Apple thinks it's important, even Disney has had programs aligned with it since the late 80's.

So I suppose your statement is correct, there are benefits for companies and they have been doing it for decades.
 
While Musk tries to undermine the Swedish labor markets model with collective agreement that covers 90 percent of workers. That this model has led to better wages and working conditions as well as good conditions for business and innovation.

While Trump is now making the US weaker with many talented people leaving the US.

"Over the 20th and early 21st century, most of these scholars fled to the U.S. — a land that encouraged research without fear or favor. No matter its other failings, people from all over the world flocked there to take up opportunities at unrivaled universities. But now, thanks to President Donald Trump and his rapid-fire assault on the country’s higher education institutions, a reverse brain drain has begun.

And much of it is headed for the continent he seemingly abhors — Europe.

These scholars aren’t leaving just out of choice. As funding is summarily removed, home-grown scholars and researchers are finding themselves out of jobs, and entire departments are closing. Meanwhile, foreign academics, many who have made the U.S. their home, are being kicked out or refused entry, often on spurious grounds, or are in fear it will happen to them."

The US brain drain has begun

The White House appears hell-bent on destroying not just economic and political paradigms, but a higher education system that really did make America great.

This guy and his Nazi cronies are literally trying to control the world. I guess when Trump said, "I am the leader of America, and the world", he actually believed it.
The world laughs, and Jesus weeps.

Which begs the question, why does the government need to be involved in pushing DEI at all, if it is beneficial on it's face, and companies have been doing it for decades?

Why should we wait for whites to voluntarily unwind socioeconomic segregation?
 
Stockholm has no shits to give over what Trump wants, clearly.

Why do you support racist polices like DEI?
